In fact, the point is not about developer laziness, rather to reckon that everybody here is playing as a professional and pursuing his own interest. Since Adobe and Apple do, why shouldn't I? And if I'm able to roll out an application in Android in a matter of weeks reusing the whole set of my Java knowledge, not talking of the whole bunch of tools of my software factory, and I can deploy to multiple mobile platforms, and I'm not forced to use an Apple computer for developing, and I'm not forced to pay a single euro for software tools (the least issue, honestly), why should have I sympathy for the iPhone world?
